Question

1. a 14 year old friend plays soccer and has shared that they sometimes get bad allergies when they are out on the field. they keep their over - the - counter allergy medicine in the car no matter what season it is just in case they experience sneezing and itchy eyes during practice. based on the facts below, is your friend following all of the drug facts information?

drug facts (continued) section with details like active ingredient, uses, warnings, directions, other information, inactive ingredients, questions? and multiple - choice options: yes, because they are taking it for the uses described on the drug facts. yes, because they are only taking it as needed. no, because the medication is not likely being stored at the proper temperature. no, because the medication should only be used for adults and children over 18. also has a clear all button

Explanation:

To determine if the friend follows Drug Facts, check storage: "Other Information" says store 20 - 25°C (68 - 77°F), avoid heat/humidity. Keeping in car (variable temps, heat/humidity risk) means improper storage. Other options: A is wrong (storage issue, not just use); B is wrong (storage still issue); D is wrong (directions say 6+ years can use, friend is 14). So the issue is storage temperature.

Answer:

No, because the medication is not likely being stored at the proper temperature.
